All in all pretty disappointing specs. I prefer tilt screen over vari angle, zoom is too short and quite slow (really liked the 24-120 eq. of the MkII), still no 4k, 200 shots battery life (could that be an error?), flash once again doesn't bounce, and most of all: that price is simply arrogant.

It just really only needed a new 1.5" sensor which is probably too expensive to develop in isolation for just one camera. The camera that is being shown at the moment looks like something cobbled together from bits already sitting in the workshop drawer.

It may be an excellent camera in its own way if this is for real but this Mark designation of something completely different does stretch credulity a bit and make it difficult for existing owners to see the advantages against disadvantages.

I would not like a lens collapsing completely in to the camera as I like the bridge format of the G1X with a fixed lens mounting extension as they seem less prone to dust problems. Even the Panasonic bridges have very few sensor dust postings if any at all.
